About Vero Surfcam 2019 R1. Surfcam is a CAM solution that achieves the perfect balance between feature sets and ease of use. With an unrivalled out of the box experience, SURFCAM provides a great entry-level CAM platform, full of functionality and one to help your business become even more productive and profitable.

SURFCAM customers also have the added benefit of maintaining associativity between their SURFCAM toolpaths and SOLIDWORKS parts and assemblies in their CAD/CAM, design thru manufacturing environment. SURFCAM's powerful associativity enables NC programmers to open native SOLIDWORKS files directly into Surfcam, completely eliminating the translation process. When changes are made to the SOLIDWORKS design models, Surfcam automatically recognizes the design revisions and offers to regenerate the affected toolpaths within SURFCAM's Operations Manager. With this simple and seamless interoperability between these two systems, SURFCAM users can quickly adapt to SOLIDWORKS design changes and efficiently update their programming environment.

The partnership of Surfcam and SOLIDWORKS provides a smart, simple and efficient solution for NC programmers who required ease-of-use and world class precision and control over their NC programming environment.

Surfcam 2019 R1 Includes New Module For Additive Machining Responding to the increase in hybrid manufacturing, the latest release of Surfcam introduced a new Additive Machining module. Supporting the Direct Energy Deposition method, SURFCAM now offers a dedicated manufacturing cycle which accurately guides a laser, as it deposits material to form a shape. After that, the shape is machined using SURFCAM's milling cycles to create the final component.

As Surfcam 2019 R1 now offers full ToolStore support for Additive Manufacturing, shapes can be built using almost any milling cycle...including advanced functions such as rotary and 5-axis simultaneous machining. In total, SURFCAM 2019 R1 includes around 30 individual enhancements.
